Food and Agriculture
Food production in the United States has been industrialized, a development with significant implications for the ecological well-being of our food systems, crops, animals, and people. Green Century is working to promote healthy food and sustainable farming practices and to keep genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) out of our food.
2012 Issue:
- Sustainable Agriculture - Purchasing locally grown, sustainable food eliminates or reduces many of the environmental impacts associated with industrial agriculture and creates a market for local, sustainable farmers. We will work with companies to encourage the adoption of sustainable sourcing policies that include a commitment to organic and locally-grown foods.
